The video introduces Sintra , a versatile hobby material commonly used in the Hollywood special effects industry. Sintra is made of expanded closed-cell polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and can be found in various thicknesses. It is ideal for structural uses, as it is lightweight, yet rigid and flexible, can be easily cut, glued, sanded, and carved, and holds a sculpted edge well. Despite its advantages, Sintra does have a slight orange peel texture, which may be a problem in certain cases. The video discusses the pros and cons of using Sintra as a hobby material, including its smooth finish when painted, but it is slightly more expensive than foam core, more difficult to work with than MDF, and not as commonly stocked in hobby shops. Despite these challenges, Sintra can be a strong and easy-to-work-with option for creating sci-fi or military structures with raised or sharp edges. The video creator suggests purchasing bulk orders online to have a steady supply.
